Can your frames withstand birdie hits?

Just wondering if your racket frames is still alive even with numerous birdie hits . My older models can . Can your yonex rackets can? If no , then i fear that mine wont do the same . If they didnt survive , about how many hits did it take for your racket frame to bend/break?

It's like russian roulette and depends on position of the frame, how hard you hit the frame, how much stress does the frame take (hitting the frame with high tension like 30lbs and beyond) and is the frame weaken due bad stringers, clashes or hitting the floor.
Nobody can predict. I never broke a frame due just mishitting which was in mint or good conditions and strung under 30lbs.
